Digital control of c-di-GMP in E. coli balances population-wide developmental transitions and phage sensitivity

This study shows E. coli uses a digital switch to convert c-di-GMP dynamics into binary states, enabling population-level developmental transitions and phage resistance.

Tad pili play a dynamic role in Caulobacter crescentus surface colonization

This study shows Tad pili in Caulobacter crescentus dynamically assist in surface colonization by reorienting cells and facilitating flagellar-mediated anchoring.
